you're absolutely right about the confu...Steve,<br />you're absolutely right about the confusion last time. That shouldn't be repeated this time. The EC saw a draft paper with specific seats allocated to particular RISCs and NISCs. It was problems with some of the details that held this up.<br /><br />It will be done via RISCs where possible, but it isn't always. Some RISCs don't have 4000 members, so can't get a delegate to themselves. In other cases, the proportionality requirements (women, BAEM) could not be met doing it region by region.<br /><br />I think something clear will come out of the next EC meeting.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457846826410465352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167525734621965856.post-69013910891359994122010-09-22T19:18:27.074+01:002010-09-22T19:18:27.074+01:00Ian please don't take this as a criticism of y...Ian please don't take this as a criticism of yourself because it isn't intended that way.<br />We need to avoid the same confusion that emerged with electing delegates to the Special Rules earlier this year. We had some RISCS electing delegates and then were told it was NISCS that elected them.<br />We need to stick to RISCS electing delegates because this allows for those not on a NISC the chance to get to conference.<br />Personally I think 1:4000 members is too restrictive but I suppose that would be a rule change.<br />One way of solving the issue might be to elect from RISC and then any RISC that does not meet those seats go to the NISC for electing. There are some RISCS that don't meet , Metals has at least 2.<br />In this way we maximise the opportunities for people to attend what is a very important conference and allow others the chance to attend instead of the usual suspects who grab everything.Overviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233544081745153301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167525734621965856.post-69457293826773342692010-09-22T17:42:35.472+01:002010-09-22T17:42:35.472+01:00This EC didn't in the end take a final decisio...This EC didn't in the end take a final decision on the distribution of seats for Rules Conference, as there are still a few glitches that need to be ironed out.<br /><br />The intention is to elect delegates by and from RISCs or NISCs. Where delegates are elected from NISCs, they will have to ensure regional balance.<br /><br />IT & Comms is likely to get 3 delegates (including at least one woman), all elected from the NISC.<br /><br />Electrical Engineering & Electronics is likely to get four delegates, all elected from the NISC.<br /><br />In both cases, this would mean the NISC electing no more than one delegate per region.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457846826410465352noreply@blogger.com
